We meet an old acquaintance in the small cave and fall into his trap.
TheMurkwater Cave in Elden Ringis a location in Limgrave.
Here’s ourElden Ring Murkwater Cave walkthrough, includinghow to beatPatchesin Murkwater Cave.
Depending on when you get here, he may well pose a challenge.
The sounds startle the inhabitants of the cave.
The cave is not large, just two passages.
Behind the gate is just a box and nothing else.
Open it, there is only aCloth GarbandCloth Trousersinside.
It belongs to an old acquaintance.
He jumps down to you from the ledge and starts a solid boss fight.
The kick really sucks.
It goes through the shield and the entire stamina bar and stuns you briefly.
Patches is cunning enough to exploit this gap and pierces you with his spear.
If your life bar is too short, that’s it.
It’s okay to block a spear thrust, but for heaven’s sake, not the kick.
Otherwise, circle around him and try a backstab.
Or a defensive counter after his thrust.
Patches doesn’t have any really fancy animations and gives you plenty of chances.
Shortly before tipping over, Patches begs for mercy and you could spare him.
This is rewarded with aGolden Rune (1)and the’Grovel for Mercy' gesture.
He explains that, as a looter, he has it super hard and so on.
Patches' Emporium is open once you return after resting at theSite of Grace.
Patches is now available here as a retailer and has a lot on offer that is not available everywhere.
He then makes his way to Volcano Manor.
